Research - Fundamental Biology
Nature's processes take a long time to unfold, so the WildCRU specialises in developing long-term data sets. Long-term data sets provide insight into long-term processes, such as climate change, and provide the framework for shorter-term projects. Several of WildCRU's projects began over 20 years ago and are still ongoing.The resulting long-term data sets are invaluable for the in-depth ecological understanding they provide.
